Ahh one more question whats everyone cold start idle speed? Mine seems to be 1350-1400 when its really cold but when its been sitting overnight and its about 65'F outside its like 1100-900 just wonder if this is good or bad and what affects it.


Thanks

My 7M was doing that exact thing. Hard to start but always would after a couple tries, and ran/starts fine once I got it going. After reading this, I thoroughly cleaned the cold start valve with carb cleaner, sealed it on with gasket maker, and used some liquid electrical tape on the harness. Not sure which part it was, but now it starts right up like a charm, even in below freezing temperatures. Never thought I would see this day!
Thanks!
